Topic: Prayers for Sarah (Read 2047 times)

Please remember in your prayers, the handmaiden Sarah - mother of a GOARCH priest and a Seminarian and grandmother of another both at Christ the Savior in Johnstown and wife of our Deacon. She fell several weeks ago at the local OCA church during the celebration of Mother Raphaela's Jubilee and is undergoing back surgery today. She has been in considerable pain since.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

It has been a difficult week and Sarah is undergoing cardiac by-pass surgery this morning. May the Theotokos protect your Handmaiden and may Your healing grace be upon her in these difficult days to come. Lord, have mercy.
